Very buggy looking. I am sure your pattern would be successful internationally. Well done.

Re: Hare's ear soft hackle
Very nice fly. Am I correct in assuming you used the tag end of your tying silk as the rib?

Ron,
Yes, I used the original tag end of the thread base for the rib. A last moment idea.

Trout cannot resist flies tied with natural hare's ear dubbing.
